Chapter 130 Superman and Weirdos
Chen Tao sat in the seat of the extended Lincoln, dressed in a suit and looking out the window in a trance.
The breeze was gentle, the sky was cloudless, and only countless white doves were flying in the sky.
The car news channel was playing the gentle and soft female voice of Lois Lane.
"Historians of Metropolis divide the history of this city into two periods, the period before Superman came... and after he came."
"Metropolis News Online" is the latest radio channel born in Metropolis, controlled by Bruce Wayne, with Lois Lane as the founder and main partner, focusing on news information on the car channel, and the development prospects are very promising.
"It's hard to remember what life was like before that. [The Superman Era] seemed to have changed every aspect of urban life overnight."
"Police patrols, school courses, fashion politics... It seems that even the weather has changed."
Chen Tao looked out the window, countless demonstrators holding signs, confronting fully armed anti-riot police, time is quiet and "not" good - but the world is always like this, so this world can probably be considered beautiful.
"In the months before that, Metropolis had gone through a lot of ups and downs, you know, just like every city in human history."
Louis' voice sang:
"The violent crime rate has slowly risen, and corruption cases have shaken people's confidence in their leaders."
The extended Lincoln was parked behind the traffic jam, with an irritable driver in front, honking continuously, but thanks to the excellent sound insulation of the luxury car, it didn't seem noisy.
"The wind was still driven by air pressure and temperature at that time, just like everywhere else."
Chen Tao heard Louis seem to chuckle on the news channel.
"It seems strange to pay attention to this detail, but inexplicably, one day, the wind direction is no longer driven by natural forces..."
The violent conflict caused by the demonstrations in front continued to escalate, and someone threw a homemade Molotov cocktail at the police team.
The police shouted loudly, and Chen Tao clearly saw that the demonstrator who had just escalated into a mob took out a gun.
"... but driven by danger."
"A gust of wind blew across East Street, and a pedestrian was pulled back from the speeding lane."
A gust of red and blue wind blew, and the mob's gun fell to the ground, and then was melted into molten iron by the heat vision.
Louis' voice was still ringing:
"A strong wind passed through the underground tunnel of the Morrison Express, and a child who fell into the track returned to the arms of his parents."
In the demonstration team, people screamed loudly:
"Look, that's Superman!"
"Hey! Superman!"
"Superman, look here!" People held up cameras and mobile phones, and the flash lights kept flashing.
In the car channel, Louise's pre-recorded voice was still ringing, sounding slightly upbeat:
"With the hurricane's sunny day, a threat to survival was swept back into space."
"Before we fully understand what happened, all the rules have been changed."
"The era of miracles has begun without warning!"
Chen Tao rolled down the window and saw Louise Lane in the crowd. Jimmy Olsen carried the camera for her: "Hurry up, Jimmy, we have a chance to interview the organizers of this anti-government demonstration!"
Chen Tao saw her struggling to squeeze through the crowd and heard her voice in the car stereo:
"Talk to any local in Metropolis, and you can hear the stories of this era..."
People cheered, and everyone was calling Superman. The sound was like a tsunami, and Clark Kent picked up a few thugs and hung them on the tree next to him.
"But as in all the legendary stories of the hero's journey, the enemies of this city are still stirring, more difficult to fight and even more difficult to detect than before."
In the depths of the universe, Brainiac sat high on the throne at the top of Metropolis, Lex Luthor was operating something on the workbench, and Parasite roared loudly in the energy suppression prison.
"But as long as we look up and see the red and blue figure, we will know:"
"We can still have hope."
Lois Lane finally squeezed in front of a blonde woman: "Hello-I am Lois Lane, a reporter from the Daily Planet. You are the organizer of this demonstration, right? How many members are here this time?"
"About 30,000 to 40,000 people."
The camera reflected the face of the blonde, and she pulled Jimmy Olsen's camera again to completely put herself in the same frame with Superman who was comforting the people. And Louis' question rang again:
"I heard that your march this time is to protest the government's lax law enforcement, so that Superman is needed to replace the police?"
Louis asked: "Are you here to protest Superman?"
"No, no, no!"
The blonde shook her head quickly: "We are protesting why the police can't hand over all the work they can't do to Superman?"
"Uh..."
Louis was stunned, but out of the professional instinct of a reporter, she still deliberately sang the opposite tune: "But many people say that Superman makes the police and the fire department lose the meaning of existence. He is an illegal ruler!"
"Yes, Superman is a ruler!"
When she heard the other party admit it directly, Louise immediately thought she was going to get a big news.
However, the next second, she heard the other party's confused voice: "So, why doesn't Superman come to rule us?"
Ah this...
Then Louis saw the other party take off her shirt and suddenly turned from a female demonstrator into a female Bodhisattva. She stumbled towards Superman, leading to a burst of screams from the men: "Superman! Come and rule us quickly!"
The young female reporter slapped herself on the forehead. She shouted to Jimmy:
"What are you still standing there for? Cut this part out quickly!!!"
Chen Tao chuckled and rolled up the car window.
A few hours later, his car stopped in front of a building.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Mr. Bruce Wayne to our mask charity auction banquet!"
Pushing open the door, in the hall full of toasts, most people are dressed in various styles, some dress up as Superman, some dress up as Batman, but more are Wonder Woman, or some other female villains-
The woman in the bunny girl costume insisted that she was just playing the super villain [White Rabbit], but Chen Tao thought she just wanted to sell her body.
"What kind of villain is this?" Chen Tao heard someone ask another woman:
"Hey, there is a female villain called Live Wire in Las Vegas recently, don't you know?" The female guest dressed as Live Wire made a gesture to generate electricity: "Swish!"
Chen Tao put on his Batman coat.
Amid the melodious music, he walked to the stage: "Ahem, I want to say a few words."
Then he lowered his voice and said:
"I am Batman!"
"I am Batman!"
"Bruce Wayne is Batman!"
"Thank you, I'm done."
The applause from the audience was thunderous. Although I don't know what the clap is, just clap along.
Then Chen Tao continued to sing:
"I am blue?"
"I am blue——"
Alfred stood below with a smile on his face. The years were peaceful and beautiful. He had dreamed of such scenes countless times.
His Bruce put on Batman's clothes, but just to sing a song at the masquerade, not to save the city.
Chen Tao came down from the podium, and Clark Kent in Superman's uniform was waiting for him.
"It's not easy to find you, busy man."
Chen Tao joked: "How many lives have you saved?"
"Don't mention it." Superman looked depressed: "Do you know the suicide slums?"
Chen Tao nodded.
The suicide slums are the worst neighborhoods in the southern part of the metropolis. In addition to helping Gotham, part of the funds raised in today's charity gala will also be used there.
"Now there is an angel in the suicide slums——Forget it, I'll take you to see the situation."
……
……
International Gang
The most entrenched gang in the metropolis is engaged in drug trafficking, gambling, and numerous illegal projects.
But today, an uninvited guest broke into their trading site.
"Oh my God, in the name of the Virgin Mary, in the name of God, what you are doing is a complete blasphemy!"
The gangster gunman looked at the old woman in front of him with a confused face. The other party was a black man, wearing a simple floral dress, with gray hair and a pious face.
Facing the muzzle of his raised gun, the woman was not afraid, but deliberately bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
"The great God will forgive your sins and send angels to defeat you!"
The gangster gunman was confused by this crazy look. He turned to look at his companion:
"Is this old woman mentally ill?"
"I'm not mentally ill, I'm mentally normal. I'm here to spread the gospel of God. To save you lost lambs."
"I've heard of her." Another gangster whispered to the gunman with a gun: "God, Bob, you really should read the news instead of wasting your time on women or getting drunk every day. This woman is called Sevna Williams, nicknamed Angel, and she has become famous in our neighborhoods these days."
Looking at the other party with his hands clasped together and approaching with a pious face, the gunman's heart was also a little nervous.
"What's wrong with this person? Tell me in detail."
"Almighty Father, my almighty Lord--"
"Hiss..."
The gunman looked embarrassed.
The other party faced the muzzle and shouted compassionately while singing the gospel of God. The gangster gunman had never seen such a scene.
"You know, our neighborhoods are always... not very peaceful, and she always deliberately goes to dangerous places."
"Remember the last robbery at the community bank? A bunch of outsiders, they don't follow our rules at all, but their firepower is super fierce. I heard they came from Gotham. The gangs there have been silent for almost three months. I don't know why they are not allowed to commit crimes, so they cross the line."
"I know about that, and then what?"
"Then this woman rushed up and scolded the robbers."
"Huh?"
"Yes, everyone thought this old woman was crazy, but in the end..."
"Damn it!"
The gangster gunman's face suddenly turned black. He pointed his gun at the old woman. He knew what would happen next. All the robbers who had taken advantage of the situation were beaten to a pulp by Superman. He had to quickly kill the old woman who would call Superman.
Clang!
The bullet hit the red and blue S logo. The gunman cursed, "Damn it!"
Then the gun in his hand was melted into molten iron by the heat vision.
The old woman named Sevna hid behind Superman and jumped up and down: "Ah, praise the almighty God, praise the almighty Jesus! You sent the angel to my side and saved me again!"
Chen Tao stood by: "Okay, I think I have figured out what happened."
Superman floated in front of the devout old woman Sevna, and then sighed: "Sevna, I can't come to save you every time. You can't go on like this."
He scratched his head: "Although I don't mind coming to stop the crime. But you should know how dangerous it is to rush into the scene of drug transactions to stop them."
"No, this It's not you who came, but the almighty God who sent you to my side. "
But it's obvious that Superman's words didn't have any effect on the other party: "God heard the Lamb's prayer, so he sent you, the angel, to me to help me avoid the invasion of evil!"
She turned to Chen Tao who was standing next to Clark: "Holy, thank God! This time a new angel appeared in front of me!"
The old woman rushed up to shake hands with Batman, her eyes sparkling and full of worship: "Angel fighting evil, your Lamb sends you the most sincere greetings!"
"..."
The two were speechless for a while.
With a bang, Chen Tao was shot in the head. He and Clark turned their heads to look at the gunmen of the International Gang.
Immediately afterwards, the screams of the gangster gunmen rang out in the trading warehouse.
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
"My leg is broken, my leg is broken!"
On the battlefield where bullets were flying, the old woman Sevna began to sing loudly:
"Holy, Jehovah! Holy, angels!"
She sang with a melodious voice like a church choir. Superman quickly blocked all the bullets shot at her, and then knocked down the gangsters with a few punches.
A few minutes later, the police who rushed over arrested the International Gang members who were beaten and swollen. The old woman Sevna was still there, preaching the glory of God and her own theory of perfection to the police.
It was difficult for Chen Tao to evaluate the other party.
"In life, you will always meet one or two weirdos." He comforted Clark.
"This is the third time this week that she has rushed into a gangster's transaction." Clark complained, "One day I won't be able to save her." Chen Tao patted his shoulder: "Let's not talk about this, Clark, are you ready to be Batman from tonight?" "Of course." Clark nodded, and then said hesitantly, "Are you really going to retire?" "Of course." Chen Tao said without hesitation, "Put on the Batsuit first, I have long wanted you to solve the problems of the Gotham gangsters!" ... ... ... ... ... Bang. Ms. Shiva and Bane stood side by side. "What's going on?" Jason asked in a low voice, "Teacher Shiva?" He looked at Bane, "Has this guy become stronger?" "It's not that I have become stronger, but your teacher has become weaker." Then he heard the voice of the giant man, "You are still the world's number one martial artist, but you are no longer undisputed." This was undoubtedly a huge insult, but Ms. Shiva did not answer. A drop of cold sweat flowed down Jason's forehead. Teacher Shiva is in poor condition, and an enemy like Bane...
"To be honest, the problem between us is not serious, especially when we have a common enemy in Batman."
Bane said: "But I still choose to knock you down before talking."
He said: "After resolving our grievances, we may be able to join forces to deal with Batman."
"This time, I will break Batman's back!"
